If the earth had no oceans, then the tropical regions would be comparatively warmer.

The earth without the ocean would be super-hot at the equator and really cold at the poles. The warming at the equator increases the temperature and the warm air rises. Without oceans, there will not be any winds flowing which will cause moderation of temperature, due to which extreme temperatures will be experienced in places such as extreme cold in the frigid zone and extreme heat in the equatorial region. Though temperature at tropics would be comparatively lower than equatorial region, still it would be high for the person to live in such areas hospitably. Ocean currents act similar to a conveyor belt, which transports warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics.

The correct answer should be C. bio-luminescence

They have this ability because the parts that are shiny are meant to be like bait for other animals and when they come near to eat it or check it out they get eaten by the entire fish which is much larger than its bioluminescent part.

ALGEBRA:Chase rides his bike 5 miles to school in 25 minutes. The relationship between the distance he rides and the time it tak

bezimeni [28]

(D) Distance traveled by Chase on bike = 5 miles

(T) Time taken by Chase to travel that distance = 25 minutes

D and T are directly related.

Part A (Equation)

Since, D and T are directly related,

⇒ D ∝ T (i.e. D is directly proportion to T)

⇒ D = k × T (using k as constant variation, as suggested in the question)

So the equation that represents the relation between T and D is D = k × T.

Part B (Value and units for k)

When we put the values of T and D in the equation D = k × T, we get:

5 = k × 25

Solving the above equation and moving 25 to the Left Hand Side (LHS) of the equation

⇒ 5 ÷ 25 = k

⇒ 0.2 = k OR

⇒ k = 0.2

Hence, value of k is 0.2. This is the rate at which Chase drove his bike to school.

Now, to determine the unit of k we will simply put the units of D and T in the equation.

⇒ 5 miles = k × 25 minutes

⇒ 0.2 miles/minute = k OR

⇒ k = 0.2 miles/minute

Hence, the unit for k is miles/minute or miles per minute.

Part C (Time taken to ride 8 miles)

Now, if Chase drives his bike at the same rate every day, i.e. at 0.2 miles/minute, then we need to determine how much time he takes to ride 8 miles. Putting the values of k and D in the equation:

⇒ 8 = 0.2 × T

⇒ T = 40 minutes

So, Chase would take 40 minutes to cover a distance of 8 miles.
